SNES PAL Speed Full Screen

I am used to playing SNES PAL games. Is there a way for me to get full screen on CRT but keeping the PAL speed on the games?
When playing PAL games on my CRT with original hardware I get black bars and it is the same with Mister. My guess is that there is no way around this but I thought it was worth a post to check =).

Not with a CRT TV (not without mangling the picture, anyway). If you were outputting to a CRT PC monitor and using the scaler, you could get it to work. But if you play only the games exclusive to PAL, those should be properly optimized anyway.

Often the black bars on top and bottom of bad PAL conversion are part of the image, they aren't added later by the monitor/tv. So the only option is if your tv has some option to zoom or stretch in the image (some later era CRT do).
